The divey, jenky location only adds atmosphere to one of the city's best soul food joints.
The Front Porch
Homey, kitschy atmosphere one part restaurant in part living room invites puts you the sampling of their compellingly cool cocktail list. Go here for the fried chicken bucket, stay for the burger and everything else in between. Don't forget the butterscotch pudding in a jar, is pure sassy southern style. You'll leave whistlin' Dixe. Ps best habanero sauce ever.
Overrated, Overpriced for average food – Reviews were mixed, but we still tried it out. Nothing fancy, and I think the menu offerings are a bit on the pricey side for regular, average food. Had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes. Chicken was covered in thick bread crumbs - could have had the same quality from KFC - for a lesser price of course. My boyfriend had the burger priced at $11 - expected more than just regular ground beef considering the price - could probably have gotten a similar or better burger from a fast food chain. The restaurant is small, very dark (can't hardly read the menu), I think it's poorly decorated, no ambiance (that's why the purposely make it dark?). In summary, I'm not coming back - especially for those prices for regular and average food - I do not see the quality nor the value for the prices being charged. Sorry...
Great Cocktails, Super Friendly Staff, and Awesome Meat Dish – Went to this place and the food was so good that it made me want to start a yelp account just to write it.
mmm collard greens! – My husband and I had heard about this place and its down-home style menu that changes, I think, weekly, and decided to give it a try. As we usually try to get into restaurants around 6 pm in this town , we didn't have a problem being sat immediately. Friendly greetings are a great start and thank God we had one because this can make or break a place for me and my husband. Wine, yes. Sancerre by the glass, yes. Delicious beer on draft and in the bottle, check. So far so good. Fried chicken for me with collard greens and black-eyed peas, cooked in ham hocks, of course. Delicious! As good as when I lived in New Orleans and ate it almost anywhere and everyday. Hubby had surf and turf which was jerk-rubbed prawns and hangar steak. Also a winner. We had a friendly and attentive server (such a rare treat in SF), great food and an overall yum-tastic experience. Go there.
Down Home Vibe – Great Experience! Walking up to the entrance I was a little apprehensive, think someone's garage sale, but upon entering I was pleasantly surprised. The owner was very attentive and made it seem as if he had invited us over to dinner at his pad. The music was cranked up and everyone looked like they were having a good time. Great wine list and none too expensive. Good selection of French and other unique choices. We had the salt cod fritters, crab grits, and the fried chicken. For dessert we had the strawberry shortcake. I highly recommend them all. This is southern comfort food with a spicy Caribbean twist that gives it a kick. The wait staff was amiable, knowledgeable, and unobtrusive. I can't wait to go back to try the other delectable items on the menu or just sit out front and have a glass of wine on one of the rocking chairs.
Shake n Bake It's Not... – Just had dinner The Front Porch...the fried chicken was very tasty, definitely better than shake n bake! Desserts were much better than cardboard...delicious lemon pound cake strawberry shortcake was a highlight. My friends had a burger and the snapper, braised romaine and beet salad...all delicious. Very warm service, great atmosphere -- food was a B but experience was an A...try it!
Expected Much More -- Chicken Like Shake-n-Bake! – The Chron wrote up this place very positively, but for me it did not live up to expectations. The much hyped Fried Chicken was like a good version of "Shake-n-Bake": not bad, but not Awesome either. The chicken pieces -- you get 8 -- in the $30 bucket were good quality with the breasts halved, but the skin and batter?
"It was just OK." I expected more flavor, fire, interesting Carribean tastes. There weren't any.
The other hyped dish, the crab 'n grits thing was edible. Had very little crab though and grits are grits. Also had the fried chicken livers...now those were interestingly good, on top of the brioche (bread) and a light gravy. Nice!
Ordered the slaw and trio of fried potatoes as sides and those were competent as well, nothing special.
Wine was reasonably priced and our hostess and servers were personable pros. No problems here. Just lower your expectations regarding the food. The room and decor were cozy. The bar was just beer and wine which also works.
Comfort food with gritty, Southern appeal--and a beverage list to match. – The Scene
Tattooed regulars rub elbows with local sophisticates (yes, some are both) at this "Southern Mission" bastion of hipster kitsch featuring a full bar and diner-style booths. "Bevies" are served with a side of dive-bar juke. Comfort touches include a tin ceiling, rocking chairs and gliders on the front patio, grandma curtains above the kitchen's exhibition window and family portraits from yesteryear.
The Food
The better-than-decent wine list is served by the box, jug, "deuce" (carafe for two), or juice box with a bendy straw. Other options include a delectable sangria the color and flavor of young peaches and a "red-eye"--a Bud tall boy with tomato juice. The menu is California-Soul-simple and rich--shallow pools of red-bean soup, buttery grits and Dungeness lump meat, deep-fried chicken livers on brioche, buckets of fried chicken and a seviche medley in an old-fashioned glass. Avoid the dessert: it's both expensive and cheap, especially the cardboard-like yellow layer cake.
Well....the interior design is cool – I am not a fan of southern food....I told my friends that I wouldnt knock it until I tried it. We had collard greens w/black eyed peas and pork, the green beans, and the Red Snapper w/risotto. The Red Snapper was the best thing there for me, it was fresh and flavorful. I felt that the other items were overbearing with pepper, and other spices......If you are into eating rich, heavily spiced food, you will like this place.
okay food, annoying hipsters, bad service – Food is okay, fried chicken and the burger were both tasty. Wonderful black eyed peas as a side. But this is all trumped by the terrible service-- the worst I've ever seen in SF.
There were four servers and three tables sat (the place was empty) on a week night. I ordered a drink and waited 20 minutes while the servers made tea for themselves and stood around looking "hip".
Finally I went up to the bar and told the bartender I had ordered a beer and it hadn't come yet.
Without any apology she gave me the beer and charged me for it up front. So I pay her and ask her to tell my server so it doesn't show up on the bill. She said okay but I guess looking "cool" and acting "hip" takes a lot of concentration because when the bill came (we had to ask for it) the beer was still listed. My server took it off and acted all surprised no one had brought me the drink--did she seriously not see me go up to the bar myself??? Maybe the lights are a bit too dim inside--we were literally 1 of only 3 two-tops! It's too bad the staff seems more concerned with maintaining their phoney hipster attitudes than actually serving their customers.

Considered one of Shakespeare's darkest and most powerful tragedies, the play dramatizes the corrosive psychological and political effects produced when the Scottish lord Macbeth chooses evil as the way to power. After committing regicide to become king, he furthers his moral descent with a reign of murderous terror. He loses everything that gives meaning and purpose to his life, before losing his life itself.

Thanks to Mark for the excellent fanpost and accompanying data!
Even with Notre Dame taking advantage of Marquette penalties, the Golden Eagles were still in this game until late when ND pulled away for a 12-7 win.
The Irish come to Uihlein Park for a non-conference tilt with the Golden Eagles on Tuesday evening.
It was only 5-1 at the half, and that was because of two late Irish goals. Those goals got Notre Dame going and they blew the game open early in the second half on Wednesday evening.
The Golden Eagles are in South Bend this evening to tangle with a Fighting Irish team that's only lost to teams ranked ahead of them in the polls this season. Could get interesting quickly.
It's a big change that would have wide ranging implications.
Just like last year, Duke led Marquette 10-1 after the first quarter. But the remaining three quarters went better than last time, so that's something.
AAC, ACC, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big 12, SEC, Mountain West, Pac 12. All starting today, PLUS: the Patriot League title game!

Storms could affect Christmas get away
4:30pm Monday 23rd December 2013 in Local
FESTIVE travellers could face major disruption to their Christmas travel plans with severe gales and heavy rainfall predicted.
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning, with the threat of gusts of up to 80mph and localised flooding in pockets of the UK, just in time for the big getaway.
Motorists have been braced to prepare for delays, particularly those heading to the south-west of England and parts of Scotland.
While those looking to make an early getaway across the seas have already faced some disruption to services as a result of the adverse weather.
Calum MacColl, forecaster with the Met Office, said those looking to travel home for Christmas ought to prepare for problems on the roads and rails.
He said: "There is scope for very heavy rain, potentially some localised flooding, and strong winds in some areas so there is a risk of travel disruption."
Winds of 50 to 60mph are predicted, though the worst of the weather is expected to clear by the end of Christmas Eve.
London Midland had already given its rail passengers with advance tickets for today the option of travelling yesterday instead, with customers encouraged to check National Rail Enquiries or speak to their train company.

I research, consult and speak on the future workplace.
The average worker today stays at each of his or her jobs for 4.4 years, according to the most recent available data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but the expected tenure of the workforce's youngest employees is about half that.
Ninety-one percent of Millennials (born between 1977-1997) expect to stay in a job for less than three years, according to the Future Workplace "Multiple Generations @ Work" survey of 1,189 employees and 150 managers. That means they would have 15 – 20 jobs over the course of their working lives!
So what would all this job-hopping do for young workers' careers? For applicants, job instability on a resume could come at the cost of the dream job. For years, experts have warned that recruiters screen out chronic job-hoppers, instead seeking prospective employees who seem to offer longevity.
Talent acquisition managers and heads of Human Resources make a valid case for their wariness of resumes filled with 1-2-year stints. They question such applicants' motivation, skill level, engagement on the-job and ability to get along with other colleagues.
These hiring managers worry they'll become the next victims of these applicant's hit-and-run jobholding. For companies, losing an employee after a year means wasting precious time and resources on training & development, only to lose the employee before that investment pays off. Plus, many recruiters may assume the employee didn't have time to learn much at a one-year job.
The Upside of Job Hopping
But for newly minted college graduates, job-hopping can speed career advancement. According to a paper out of the St. Olaf's Sociology Department entitled "Hiring, Promotion, and Progress: Millennials' Expectations in the Workplace," changing jobs and getting a promotion in the process allows Gen Y employees to avoid the "dues paying" that can trap workers in a painfully slow ascent up the corporate ladder.
Job hopping can also lead to greater job fulfillment, which is more important to Gen Y workers than it was to any previous generation: A 2012 survey by Net Impact found that 88 percent of workers considered "positive culture" important or essential to their dream job, and 86 percent said the same for work they found "interesting." Job-hopping helps workers reach both of these goals, because it means trying out a variety of roles and workplaces while learning new skills along the way.
And economic instability has erased, especially for younger workers, the stigma that has accompanied leaving a job early. That's because strategic hopping been all but necessary for as long as they can remember. Workers today know they could be laid off at any time – after all, they saw it happen to their parents – so they plan defensively and essentially consider themselves "free agents.
If that freedom seems an undue privilege, think again. The downside to the freedom they enjoy is financial insecurity worse than any other generation in the past half-century. That's a sufficient price to pay.
So while Baby Boomers started working with an eye on gaining stability, raising a family, and "settling down," today's young workers take none of that for granted. Instead, as shown by Net Impact's survey, they are more concerned than their predecessors with finding happiness and fulfillment in their work lives
Indeed, since humans have been proven to be terrible at predicting what will make us happy (as shown by Harvard happiness guru Daniel Gilbert), it's crucial that we find it through trial-and-error.
This is no surprise. Small business employers aren't offering the millenials any real stability. The modern manager seems to think it's smart to always hang career disaster over employees' heads as a means of motivation. What do they get in return? Employees who are mobile and willing to jump ship for a few extra bucks. But it IS true that recruiters weed out ths jobhoppers, too. It might be worth it to simply have some jobs unavailable to you, the price you're willing to pay to have freedom and happiness to hop jobs whenever you want.
Jeanne, you've made a strong argument for not over-thinking a record of job-hopping, but you didn't address one of the biggest contributing factors – the corporations themselves. Companies are increasingly relying on a temporary workforce, or hiring for a specific need and then "optimizing staff out" when the need is over. This phenomenon is nowhere more apparent than among junior level positions that are typically filled by GenY candidates. GenY's who are able to eke out a career path in the face of a tempo-culture have demonstrated a level of resilience and flexibility that can and should be valued, but don't be surprised if they are way ahead of you in planning their next career move before you've "optimized them out".
Living proof :) Culture of a team is way too important.
Great article about job hopping millennials! It's true, this generation of workers is more likely to switch jobs or career paths in general. This doesn't make them bad hires. In fact, many of these candidates are driven and looking to get where they want to go in their careers. Before negatively judging a job hopper candidate take the time to speak with them, whether in person or through online video, and see if their career goals align with your company. That's a better indication of whether they are likely to stay with your organization than their past history.
For such a prestigious magazine, I wouldn't expect so many grammatical errors.. Aside from that, I enjoyed this article. It is acknowledging that professionals are changing their behavior. But, less loyalty to companies and only looking out for #1 could cause a hesitation on the company's part when looking for new hires.
As my boss says, "You have to cater to their heart and their mind." Make their job meaningful to them and keep them challenged. Millennials want to be constantly learning and challenged at work, or they will move on. I think an important part of retaining these younger workers is to have a clear career path and set expectations for them.
I can see how this would apply with someone who has a specific skill set or trade, but if we are talking Sales then I really don't see how it can be beneficial to jump ship to the next great thing. And for what, an extra hundred dollars on your paycheck. What did you prove? Did you advance in the company? Did you meet and exceed your goals? Did you really let politics and other employees drive you out? Are you resilient? Can you handle pressure? Did you just quit? Are you loyal? These are all questions, I must consider when dealing with a Sales Associate who has jumped ship after a few months or one year. Sales ebbs and flows and it takes time to find your grove.
As an IT Recruiter, I can tell you that I don't dismiss IT job hoppers as many of them work contract opportunities and often times are the first to be laid-off during cut backs, especially if they are not subject matter experts with domain knowledge. However, when it comes to entry level sales, tough it out, meet your goals and advance in your position. You will be better off in the long run. Be particular about your first job. Have a plan, know what type of industry and company you would like to work for. College Grads need to realize that they are in fact, in demand and easy to hire so they can afford to be a little picky in their initial job search.
I must add, College grads also need to be realistic! Maybe not shoot for the stars and put all your eggs into one basket and only apply to Google. Have a plan for now and for the future. Work your way up and make calculated decisions. Will having 5 different sales jobs in 4 years be a smart move? To each their own.
Jeanne, signed up just to follow you as you are always spot on with insights and practical wisdom. I appreciate the way you approached this topic. Thanks!
Jeanne, great article! While I have only been in the recruiting and coaching industry for 14 years, it will be very interesting to see what the workplace – and recruiting practices – look like in another 20 years, as these Gen Yers are the ones making hiring decisions. Resumes may begin looking like the deal sheet utilized by today's M&A experts, simply listing the positions held and companies worked for, with a broader description of their overall skills, rather than today's traditional, chronological resume. Interview questions will shift to "So tell me why you chose to stay with your last employer for 6 whole years. How were you able to stay engaged at one company for so long"? Having just completed an article on whether a company's hiring process is a turn-off – http://www.turningpointsearch.net/resources/articles/ – the next version of this topic may look a whole lot different.

The Schweizer 300CB
Chris Cooper of Hummingbird Helicopters shares a few lessons learned relating to maintaining the Schweizer 300CB helicopter.
Chris Cooper says, "After two years of early retirement I knew it wasn't for me, so I decided to get back to my aviation roots by opening a helicopter flight school." He began by consulting with operators of small reciprocating engine helicopters around the country and ultimately chose to use the Schweizer as his primary trainer.
Since opening Hummingbird Helicopters of Minnesota in 2002, his company has operated as many as five helicopters and gained approximately 12,500 flight hours of experience in the Schweizer 300s and Robinson R-22 and R-44 helicopters. Cooper uses these small helicopters primarily for flight training, air rides, photo flights, deer survey, and just about any other use he can find for them.
Cooper says, "I'm a Vietnam era helicopter maintenance test pilot and even though I do not have an A&P certificate, I've always maintained a close involvement with aircraft maintenance. I've learned the importance of paying very close attention to detail when maintaining a helicopter." He goes on to share a few lessons learned relating to maintaining the Schweizer 300CB helicopter.
Bill Halpin, director of maintenance for Hummingbird Helicopters, shares, "Grease is cheap and helicopter components are expensive. As you know not all grease is the same, so don't make assumptions about lubricating using the same type of grease."
Cooper and Halpin went on to discuss some of the lubrication practices that have been implemented for their Schweizer 300CB. The first stop was the lubrication chart in the Handbook of Maintenance Instructions (HMI) for the 300CB. It's easy to see that numerous types of lubricants are required and that many areas of the helicopter have different lubrication intervals. Cooper provides the example of the belt drive assembly on the 300CB which consists of a lower drive pulley, an upper drive pulley, and an idler pulley all having different lubricating requirements.
Halpin explains that it's important to understand the basic concept of purge lubrication; which means to pump new grease into a grease fitting or grease nipple (commonly referred to as a Zerk fitting after the inventor Oscar Zerk in 1929) until all the old grease has been visibly displaced. The HMI requires certain points on the 300CB be greased every 25 flight hours of operation.
Cooper says, "We've learned that lubricating certain areas at 10 flight hour intervals is a much better practice for our type of operation. As an example the three main rotor pitch bearings, the flapping hinge bearings, the upper and lower swash plate scissors links, the main rotor droop stop, and the main rotor swash plate bearing sleeve all get purge lubricated at every 10 flight hours on our Schweizer."
They also caution helicopter maintainers to be mindful of the operating environment. There may be multiple types of grease approved for one application. Make sure you use the best type of grease for the climate you operate in.
An example of this is the Anderol 786 grease which the HMI states is used when the temperatures are 17.8 C or 0 F and above. Cooper shares, "Here in the cold climates we routinely operate in temperatures below 0 F. We've learned that an approved alternative Syn-Tec 3913G1 holds up better in these cold weather operations."
Another tip regarding operating environments is to always purge lubrication after operating the helicopter in the rain, or in dusty or dirty conditions. The HMI for the 300CB speaks to lubricating the rotor head bearings after operating in the rain.
Purge lubrication also requires a detailed cleaning when completed. You need to remove the excess grease that was displaced during the lubrication task. The rotating areas of the helicopter will sling a certain amount of grease, so removing all excess after the purge will provide a cleaner area.

If you're making ahead, keep the coriander leaves fresh after you've chopped off the stalks – simply wrap in slightly damp kitchen paper.
- Gently soften the diced onion in the sunflower oil in a big pan or casserole.
- Meanwhile, whizz together the roughly chopped onion, ginger, coriander stalks and jerk seasoning with a hand-held blender. Add to the softened onion and fry until fragrant. Stir in the thyme, chopped tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and stock cubes with 600ml water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 mins, then drop in the sweet potatoes and simmer for 10 mins more. Stir in the beans, peppers and some seasoning, and simmer for another 5 mins until the potatoes are almost tender. Cool and chill for up to 2 days.
- To serve, gently heat through on the hob. Roughly chop most of the coriander leaves and stir in, then serve scattered with the remaining leaves.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, January 2013
Comments, questions and tips
This was a nice meal. I didnt have Jerk seasoning so used something very similar, but dont think I put enough in, it wasnt very hot. The sweet potatoes didnt really cook enough and the above recipie does NOT serve 10! I cooked it last night for 5 and i did a side salad and bread, and it wasnt really enough. However we all enjoyed it and was a nice healthy dinner.
This is just one of a many great meals I've made from GoodFood whilst I take my first steps into vegetarianism. I substituted 2 of the table spoons of demerara sugar for 3 chopped pineapple rings along with their natural juice from the tin, as I felt 3 table spoons of sugar was a bit excessive. Also added a splash of Sailor Jerry Caribbean spiced rum and served it with chapatis. As a spicy food lover I didn't find it too hot, though it was a slow burner. So if you wanted to reduce the heat I'd suggest just using 1 1/2 to 2 table spoons of jerk seasoning in the hand blended paste. Was an excellent dish that I would definitely make again.
Very tasty but, despite being liking very spicy food, this was even too spicy for me and I only added 2 dessert spoons of jerk! I suspect this is how it serves 10 as you will need only a small amount of curry with loads of rice to cope with the spice! I suggest if you're using paste then 1 tablespoon is more than enough. Agree with others that doesn't need too much sugar, I used one teaspoon. Good way to use up the 2kg bag of sweet potatoes I was wondering what to do with.
I have made this a few times now, it's such a delicious dish, very different to the Italian/Indian dishes I usually make. Instead of having this with rich and to turn it into a bit of a mixture, I serve with a couple of Quorn sausages and a poached egg on top. May not be to everyone's taste but I feel it really completes the dish. Enjoy!
This is a great flavour filled dish and goes down well with veggie and meat-eaters. I've never been able to find tins of black beans anywhere (Chines supermarket maybe?) so just use whatever I've got, aduki last time. I also use balsamic instead of red wine vinegar and cajun seasoning instead of jerk. I make the full amount and freeze in portion sizes for later. I serve it with couscous.
So easy and tasty, this is a new favorite weeknight dinner. I haven't tried it with peppers yet. The first time I made it I wilted baby spinach into it towards the end of cooking time and it was epic so I make it like that now. Also substituted a spoon of blackstrap molasses instead of the sugar and vinegar because I think it does the same thing in terms if giving depth of flavour and a bit of sweetness. You don't need much, taste along the way and adjust to your liking. It's great with rice or naan but I've also just had it on its own with a dollop of yogurt on top. Love it.

Charles M. Booth
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
The Doctor of Ministry degree is an advanced professional degree in the practice of ministry that employs action research methods to call participants toward deeper spiritual and intellectual synthesis to strengthen prophetic and pastoral competence.
The D.Min. program at United brings together religious leaders to pioneer new models of ministry that empower both minister and context to transform society. The program consists of a contextual model that offers the flexibility to learn and practice theology in one's own context.
Credits Required
The D.Min. degree requires sixty (60) semester hours of credit.
The educational process in this degree program is a contextual model of ministry engaging self-initiative and collegial action/reflection. Individual leadership development and the support of other's leadership development are of equal importance. Specialized content and focus are woven into this contextual model.
Degree Completion
The entire program is intended to be completed in six (6) semesters, but with the permission of the Associate Dean of Doctoral Studies it may be extended to a total of nine (9) consecutive semesters. A student may not qualify for the degree beyond nine (9) semesters.
Admissions Requirements
The Doctor of Ministry is an advanced professional degree program that requires a Master of Divinity degree or its educational equivalent from a regionally accredited institution followed by at least three years of ministry.
If you do not have a Master of Divinity degree, please reference and apply to the Pre-Doctoral Program.
The Pre-Doctoral program offers the courses you need to qualify for what would be comparable to a Master of Divinity degree.
The Pre-Doctoral program must be successfully completed with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 before a student may be admitted into the Doctor of Ministry program.
The following is required to complete the application process:
Complete the quick and easy online application.
$75 application fee. This fee may be paid online or you may mail a check made out to United Theological Seminary to the Admissions Office, United Theological Seminary, and 4501 Denlinger Rd., Dayton, Ohio 45426. You may also pay by phone with a credit card by calling our Business Office at 937.529.2201.
Prepare a 3-5 page "spiritual autobiography" that will communicate who you are and why you are interested in this program. In organizing this essay, consider the following questions:
How would you describe your life (e.g. your formative personal relationships, work experience, intellectual development, personal growth, achievements)?
What are your interests and activities (nature of your work and study, type of reading you have been doing lately, areas of special interest)?
What have been your formative religious experiences? What are the essential principles of your religious faith today? Have these changed in recent years?
How do you view ministry in the world in which we live? What is your theology of ministry? How does this coincide with your present ministry?
What successes and failures have you experienced in your ministry? What have you learned from these?
Why are you interested in the Doctor of Ministry program?
Prepare a one-paragraph description of your context in ministry (church, school, hospital, community agency, or other).
Transcripts. Official transcripts of all education beyond high school to be sent directly to United from the college, university or seminary, including Official Master of Divinity transcript. Faxed copies are not accepted at any time.
Letter of Support and expression of cooperation for your participation in the doctoral program from the appropriate group in your local congregation or other context of ministry. This letter is most helpful if it gives information about your style of ministry.
Letter of recommendation from your ecclesiastical supervisor. This supervisor should both know your work and assure you of support in your program involvement. If you have no ecclesiastical supervisor, request a colleague-in-ministry to write a letter of recommendation for you.
Background Check. A non-refundable fee of $50 will be charged by Verified Credentials.
Application materials are valid for one year from the time of submission. After that period, a new application will be required to be considered for admission.

Marlboro College Receives $5,000 Delmas Grant to Preserve Student Work
Marlboro, VT—Marlboro College recently received an additional $5,000 grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation as part of an ongoing effort to preserve on microfilm its students' Plans of Concentration. The cornerstone of Marlboro's academic program, the Plan of Concentration is a self-directed rigorous study of an academic subject, which includes a significant written component.
According to Library Director Mary White, it is imperative to preserve these original documents because the college has no back-ups in the event of fire. The grant, the third from the Delmas Foundation (for a total of $15,000), will enable the college to preserve 30 percent of the Plans in the library's collection. Current Plans can be now be stored digitally, but microfilm is the most cost-effective and long-lasting solution to preserve the older print documents.
The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation promotes the advancement and perpetuation of humanistic inquiry and artistic creativity by encouraging excellence in scholarship and in the performing arts, as well as supporting research libraries and other institutions which transmit cultural heritage. For more information on the Foundation, visit ww.delmas.org.
Founded in 1946, Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and, since 1997, graduate study focused on Internet technologies. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 350-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont. Marlboro is a Colleges That Change Lives college.
For more information about Marlboro College, contact Elena Sharnoff, Marlboro College Public Affairs Officer, at (802) 251-7644.

RIDGWAY - "So tell me, truly, how do you feel about your hair?"
So begins a session at Ridgway's newest salon, Bernard's. The stylist is Ernst Baer, who has been asking this question of clients since he began his career as a hairstylist in his native Switzerland in an apprenticeship with his father years ago.
"I had no choice; I was standing behind the chair before I was born," he quipped. As a child growing up in the business, he wanted nothing to do with it. He was more into electronics, and was the self-appointed repairman at his parents' salon empire, fixing the heating elements of broken blow-dryers.
"If I didn't have enough work, I would sabotage something," he said with a crooked grin that is still boyish. "But my dad said to me that I could go see the world if I have good hands. And that's all it takes. Even if you don't know the language."
Baer's career has spanned decades, continents and 24 employment relationships with top salons. While working in European salons from Zurich to Champs-Élysées, he styled tresses for the likes of Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn.
Moving to the U.S., he had stints in Bermuda, West Palm Beach "where they had a jar full of rocks (i.e. diamonds) that clients forgot," and New Orleans – where he established a lifelong friendship and working relationship with renowned stylist John Jay – before opening Crazy Horse International in Boulder and later shifting to Durango. There, he had a progressive salon for over 24 years, and developed two lines of hair products, while teaching and guest-styling worldwide. More recently, he built a home in Silverton out of cinderblock, concrete, glass and steel – his modern take on a Swiss chalet – where he operated Elevation Salon, and became a father for the first time.
"I'd lived long enough in Victorian houses and was never comfortable," he explained.
In the aftermath of divorce, he embraced Ridgway as his new home, bought himself a condo and fancied himself to be retired. But old and new friends kept coming over, he said, drinking his wine and inevitably, convincing him to take out the scissors again. He realized it was important to keep working, for the sake of his son.
His newest salon, located at 167 North Cora St. in Ridgway in a space most recently occupied by Dèja Vu Salon, is named for 6-year-old Bernard, who lives in Wisconsin with his mom but often comes to visit. A few choice works of art adorn the walls, and the XM radio station is tuned to jazz as Baer, skinny and fit in jeans and close-cropped gray hair, clips away at his client's hair and laments the recent passing of Dave Brubeck.
Bernard's is not even "officially" open yet, but already, the salon is busy with clients (men, women and kids of all ages) streaming in to get their Ernst-do. He specializes in haircuts that need little maintenance, wear longer and look better than the stuff you see in style magazines.
Wielding freshly sharpened scissors made of Japanese "Samurai steel," he stands ready to once again transform a mop of bushy, neglected tresses into a sleek coiffure, or a lion's mane, or a rock-star pixie crop – whatever it is that he sees in his client that needs to be enhanced or released.
"I look at bone structures and postures," he explained. "When a client comes in, I say, 'How would I like to see that person? What do I think would look best on her?' And I claim to have a gift for that. To see that and analyze it."
Baer is a shine advocate who thinks healthy hair is sexier and more beautiful than tired weaves and stripy highlights "that look like you fell into a bleach pot." Besides, he hates the idea of all those chemicals going down the river. He uses gentle, natural products whenever possible.
"But I do listen," he's quick to add. "I teach myself to listen to my clients. If someone tells me 'Don't cut it short, and I want my highlights, and I want it this way and I want it that way,' I have no problem with that."
Styling hair comes down to a combination of artistry and technical skill, Baer said. "The artist is when you look at someone and see what you want to achieve. The rest is technical aspects. Discipline."
Baer hopes to eventually train someone or take on a partner at Bernard's. But for now, it's just him. He's glad his friends kicked him in the butt and got him out of retirement and back on his feet. "I totally missed it," he admitted. "I love it, what I am doing."
For an appointment, stop by the salon or call 970/626-4363.

Problem Solving Courts Overview
The New York State Unified Court System serves the needs of nearly 19.5 million people, the third-largest state population in the nation. Our 1,300 state judges, 2,300 town and village judges and 17,000 non-judicial employees, working in over 300 state courts and 1,300 town and village courts, spread throughout 62 counties in 13 judicial districts, hear hundreds of thousands of cases each year.
To meet the challenges of such a large system, more than two decades ago, the New York State Unified Court System began to establish problem-solving courts. These courts help judges and court staff to better respond to the needs of litigants and the community. Problem-solving courts look to the underlying issues that bring people into the court system, employ innovative approaches to address those issues, and seek to simplify the court process for litigants. Through intensive judicial monitoring, coordination with outside services, treatment where appropriate, the removal of barriers between courts and increased communication with stakeholders, these courts are able to change the way our system manages cases and responds to individuals, families and communities.
Problem-solving courts take different forms depending on the problems they are designed to address. Drug and mental health courts focus on treatment and rehabilitation. Community courts combine treatment, community responsibility, accountability and support to both litigants and victims. Sex offense, domestic violence and integrated domestic violence courts employ judicial monitoring and the use of mandated programs and probation to ensure compliance, facilitate access to services and remove artificial barriers between case types.
The Hon. Barry Kamins as Chief of Policy and Planning for New York State Courts oversees and supports these courts and works with judges statewide to study and develop new strategies to improve the delivery of justice in New York. As part of that work, the Office of Policy and Planning provides guidance, support and comprehensive training programs to problem-solving courts statewide.

There we were, my sister (Chloe) and I, having a perfect life with our beloved owner, when she got sick and could no longer care for us. We missed her terribly, and counted ourselves very lucky that her parents took us in. But you know, they were not so young, and now they have moved to assisted living, where we are not allowed. Can you imagine that? OK, we are not here to discuss the health care system. But Chloe and I are a bit heartbroken under our brave demeanor. We have had two big losses and that is not easy for any cat, let alone two loyal and loving felines like Chloe and me.
Thank goodness PAWS has taken us under their wing. We are now in a lovely foster home and we have been promised that some very nice person or people are going to come and adopt us and end our string of bad luck. So let us tell you a bit about ourselves and we can see if you are the one meant to be ours forever.
Loving is the adjective every single person who meets us uses to describe us. If liking to be brushed and enjoying your bed at night is loving, then I guess that is us. With all we have been through, Chloe has become a bit shy, so that is why I am speaking for her. But I promise, once she gets to know you, she will be out and about, rubbing against your legs and asking to be picked up. And you will want to pick her up for sure because she is a beautiful Maine Coon girl who, at seven years old, has her full coat and fuzziness. She is very elegant and soft. As you can see in the pictures, I do not have long hair, but my markings are striking and I must say I think I am a handsome fellow. Chloe thinks so, too.
Chloe and I are low key kitties. We spend our days lounging in the sun and sitting in the window. Of course, when anyone is ready, we are up to play. Our favorite toys are a laser pointer and anything that rustles at the end of a string. And I guess I should admit it, we love a bit of the nip, catnip that is…as often as we can get it. I won't go so far as to say we are addicts, but we do love any and every toy that has catnip in it. It makes us a bit crazy. But because we are not kittens, but mature adults, we don't go too nuts—just enough to get our exercise and make you laugh.
If we could pick, we would choose a home where we could be with loving humans who we don't have to share with any other cats or dogs. We don't have experience with children. If they come to visit I am certain that would be fine, but we are looking for a quiet home with adults. Beyond that we are not at all picky. Give us the chance to settle into your home, and you will find yourselves loved by two sweet siblings. Does that sound good? If so, please call PAWS. And tell them you want to take home Tiger and Chloe and give them a forever home.
If you are interested in learning more about Tiger and Chloe, or any of our other available cats and dogs, contact PAWS at (781) 246-6111 or email@example.com or visit our website www.pawswakefield.org. You can also meet many of our cats at our weekly adoption hours at VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital (Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) or at the Danvers PetSmart (Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.). Different animals will be at each location.
Join us on Saturday, November 3, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a Low-Cost Rabies and Microchip Clinic to be held at the North Reading Town Hall (235 North Street), staffed by the Park Street Veterinary Clinic as a benefit for PAWS. Rabies vaccinations are 15$ (bring proof of prior vaccination for three-year vaccine) and 25$ for microchips. All Dogs must be on leashes and cats in carriers. Cash only (no credit cards or checks can be taken).
PAWS is also participating in Petsmart's National Adoption Event on November 2-4. In addition, we will have special adoptions prices on some cats throughout the week. Visit our Danvers location throughout the week for more information and check the PAWS website for more information.

Once only known as a joke Pokemon and a breeding machine, the Hidden Hollows have finally redeemed Ditto with access to its new amazing ability, Imposter. No longer does Ditto have to waste a turn using Transform, as Imposter does the work for the adorable pink amoeba the moment it switches in! Combine this with a Choice Scarf, and you have a dastardly little revenge killer that not only reveals the opponent's moveset to you, but also preys on offensive Dragons and sometimes even weakened sweepers to sweep on it's own!
It's not all sunshine and rainbows for Ditto though. Ditto's greatest strength ends up being its greatest weakness as well. While Ditto may be able to revenge Dragons and weakened sweepers such as Mewtwo, defensive Pokemon will usually laugh at Ditto's attempts of sabotage. Even worse is Ditto's difficulty with revenging the many Calm Mind users of the Ubers metagame. These kind of flaws can make Ditto a gamble of a team slot at times, as Ditto's performance so greatly depends on the opponent's team. This doesn't mean Ditto is a bad Pokemon though, because if you are willing to take the gamble, there's a good chance that you'll walk away with all the poker chips on the table if you play the cards you are dealt with well!
By far the most important aspect of using Ditto is paying attention to the team preview and coming up with a plan to make Ditto as useful as possible, because Ditto's play style is so dependent on the opponent's team. For example, if you see that your opponent has a Darkrai, you have the option of leading with Ditto. Ditto's Choice Scarf means that it can outspeed and can give Focus Sash Darkrai a taste of its own medicine with Dark Void (unless you miss it of course)! While it may be tempting to lead with Ditto when you see a Deoxys-S, this is a very risky maneuver, because if Deoxys-S has Magic Coat, Ditto will lose. Ditto itself can help scout the opposing team by revealing its moveset, so leading with Ditto can help when the opponent leads with an unpredictable Pokemon such as Dialga.
Ditto's most common job is to revenge kill a variety of sweepers. Only attempt to revenge kill them though, because if Ditto switches in as the Pokemon sets up, Ditto won't get the boosts and is likely to lose! When it comes in to revenge killing, the most obvious choices (in most cases) are the many offensive Dragons that infest the Ubers metagame. Just make sure that they aren't carrying a Choice Scarf, or else you will have a 50% chance of losing your Ditto! Ditto is particularly effective at revenge killing frail sweepers such as Darkrai, Rayquaza, and Terrakion. For the more bulky sweepers such as Mewtwo, Latias, and Normal Arceus, you shouldn't just switch in Ditto right away, or it's terrible HP stat and Choice Scarf will let it down. Generally, Ditto will only be useful against these kinds of bulky sweepers when using it on a very offensive team. The idea is to hit these bulky Pokemon as hard as possible while they set up, damaging them enough to the point where Ditto can turn the tables on the situation. Finally, in emergency situations, Ditto can revenge SmashPass recipients, a quality that few Pokemon share, and a useful quality for offensive teams.
When Ditto is unlucky enough to be facing a stall team, there are still some ways to salvage it. One strategy is to try and take out their Ghost-type Pokemon. When the stall team loses their Ghost-type, then you can transform Ditto into their spinner, and get rid of their hazards. Additionally, when you really want Spikes up yourself, you can switch in on Ferrothorn or Skarmory to at least get one layer of Spikes up. Be warned though, the opponent can use this as a time to set up their Spikes too, so only do this when you think the extra damage Spikes cause will help you win the game.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
The only things resembling an "other option" for Ditto using a different item than normal. Life Orb can give Ditto a much better chance at sweeping, but you will have to rely on a risky Speed tie unless you have a lot of paralysis or Wobbuffet support. Focus Sash can be a nasty surprise vs many of the Dragons, but hazards will ruin this strategy.
Checks and Counters
Because of Ditto's identity stealing nature, it doesn't have any traditional counters per se. However, there are plenty of ways to deal with Ditto. The most reliable way of making a mockery of Ditto is using a Pokemon with Calm Mind, as most Calm Mind users in Ubers will not be revenge killed by Ditto. This is especially true for Calm Mind Arceus, because Ditto doesn't copy the Judgment type. Also, any Pokemon that uses Substitute will ruin Ditto's chance of revenge killing them, as Substitute makes Imposter fail. Depending on the kind of Pokemon Ditto has transformed into, it can also be revenged by Wobbuffet. Finally, Ditto struggles to be effective against defensive Pokemon, as being locked into a Choice Scarf and having a measly base 48 HP makes it easy to take advantage of.

I consider anything a "date" that includes meeting someone else at a location other than your house. In other words, the term "date night" doesn't always have to imply romance. For example, a date night could include fizzy drinks with all your girlfriends, your monthly meet up at your city's local bar with your close group of friends or, yes, a one-on-one with a hunky fella.
Whatever the occasion, the makeup pictured here is a classic look that anyone can wear (even if you're not the most experienced at applying cosmetics). This look focuses heavily on the eyes and then takes a more soft and tonal approach for the rest of your face. Follow the detailed steps below to re-create it.
1. Apply primer all over your face. Use a mattifying primer if you have oily skin.
2. Use a highlighter on your upper cheek bones and a touch on your middle upper lip and middle bottom lip. This helps create a poutier pucker.
3. Apply sheer coverage. I like to use a tinted moisturizer or BB Cream to avoid a cake-y finish. If you have problem areas, you can go back over them with a concealer. Try not to apply heavy foundation to your whole face if you don't need it everywhere because that can weigh you down.
1. Apply a white (or creamy white) eyeshadow under the brow bone. Also apply it underneath your eyes starting from the inner corner to about the middle of your lower eye.
2. Using a crease brush, apply a medium gray shade along the crease line of your eyes. Blend very well.
3. Apply winged eyeliner to both eyes with a gel, cream or liquid eyeliner. Also apply eyeliner to the bottom of your eyes. As you move the eyeliner from the outer corner to the inside of your eye, begin straying from the lash line just a little bit. This creates a more dramatic effect. Allow it to dry completely before moving on.
4. Using an eyeshadow brush, apply a dark gray eyeshadow just above the eyeliner wing. Blend in very well. Apply a slightly lighter gray to the upper middle of the eye, making sure to blend it into the darker shadow you just applied.
5. Apply a light gray eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eyelid and blend in with the medium gray you just applied.
6. Apply three to four coats of mascara. You can also wear false eyelashes for a more dramatic effect.
1. On clean and exfoliated lips, apply a peachy pink -- almost nude -- color. It should be about a half to one shade lighter than your actual lip color.
2. Apply a peachy-pink blush to the apples of your cheeks.

For the first time since the Lyndon Johnson landslide of 1964, Ouray County voted Democratic last week, giving Barack Obama 55 percent of the vote. Wright's Mesa also went Democratic, albeit narrowly – Obama had an 11-vote margin out of 715 votes cast – after going solidly for Bush the last two elections. With Norwood's first-time help, San Miguel County easily maintained its longtime blue status. Obama won 77 percent of the votes countywide, making San Miguel the bluest county in the state. The East End of San Miguel County gave Obama fully 85 percent of its vote, making the Telluride region almost as blue as the bluest jurisdiction in the United States, Washington, D.C., which went for Obama by 93 percent.
From this nearly bluest of blue redoubts, it is tempting to conclude that Telluride is spreading some blue influence to the surrounding communities, just as Obama made inroads nationally from central cities to the suburbs. This would confirm what we all sense, that as Telluride has grown increasingly expensive, former residents and new residents priced out of Telluride have settled in Norwood and Ridgway, shifting the culture in those historically conservative ranching communities. All over the Western Slope, towns "down valley" from ski resorts are being gentrified, which is one reason Colorado has tilted to the Democrats.
So what are we to make of the fact that in Norwood, Ridgway and Ouray, every tax measure on the ballot passed, while in the Telluride region all four tax measures failed?
Norwood voters approved a series of measures establishing a rec district and raising property taxes to fund it. In both Ouray and Ridgway, voters approved taxes for schools. In Ouray County, voters approved a sales tax to support road maintenance.
By contrast, in Telluride a sales tax increase to go to road maintenance failed, as did measures to approve bonds for a new medical center, a school addition and much-needed repairs to the Hwy. 145 Spur.
In the Telluride region, the argument against new taxes to support new projects was that we can't afford them, not now, not with the global economy tanking. But both Norwood and Ouray County are every bit as afflicted by the economic downturn as is Telluride, and Telluride has rarely turned down tax measures in the recent past, while voters on Wright's Mesa and in Ouray County have been far more reluctant to approve them.
What happened this year?
To begin, we know from the Obama vote we know that the Telluride region did not become more conservative in any broad sense, but both Wright's Mesa and Ouray County did become more liberal. We can speculate that the liberal shift reflects a combination of the general exhaustion with the Bush Administration that occurred nationwide and an influx of new residents. Either way, by traditional political metrics, a bluer electorate may have been more favorably disposed to tax measures.
OK, so why would the bluest of all blue electorates in the state – Telluride – suddenly turn so decisively against taxes?
By most reckoning, all of the issues before the electorate in the Telluride region were reasonable. As the saying goes, they were "needs, not wants," and if all four had passed, the increase in property tax bills wouldn't really have been all that big compared to what we already pay, a very small percentage increase. It is especially striking that this was the first defeat of a school bond measure in modern Telluride history.
Why did voters feel the need to declare their strong opposition to spending?
In the absence of polling data, all we have are theories, but here's mine: Voters in the Telluride region have this huge number stuck in their collective mind: $50 million for the Valley Floor. And this comes on top of years of approvals for tax measures. In the past decade we have had a new middle/high school, already expanded once, with a performing arts center as part of the expansion; an addition to the Telluride Elementary School; a new public library; a new indoor ice rink; streetscapes improvements in Telluride; voter approval of a new municipal water system in Telluride; the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village; taxpayer support of the Capella Hotel project; taxpayer support of the gondola; and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few goodies we are already taking for granted.
But it's the Valley Floor acquisition that really stings financially, even though nearly half of the purchase price came from private donations. I'm not suggesting that buying the Valley Floor was a mistake, although I do believe that preserving the vast bulk of it at minimal taxpayer cost was the better option. What I'm saying is that buying the Valley Floor tapped us out, at least for some years ahead, in tackling other costly problems.
We were told that approving bonds for the Valley Floor wouldn't raise taxes, and it didn't, because those bonds are backed by the 20 percent of unencumbered town revenues dedicated to the Open Space Fund. But this is disingenuous because if we hadn't issued bonds backed by that revenue stream, that money could have been made available for other uses. The Valley Floor bonds didn't cost us only if you believe that 20 percent of town revenues should be dedicated to open space forever. As an example, if we had secured the Valley Floor without bonding for it, we might have used some of the revenues tied up to back those bonds for the repair of the Spur.
But here we are: We have the bulk of the Valley Floor, the world's most glorious front yard, which is a good thing, but we can't afford a new medical center, a school expansion or a safe highway. Meanwhile, our "bedroom communities" have chosen to invest in their public sphere, even in the face of a deteriorating economy.
Without question, we made open space our highest priority. Having done so, we must now forgo or postpone other prudent community investments.
I think there may be something even deeper at work in the psyche of the Telluride-area voter. Government bonds, including those Telluride Open Space bonds, are backed by tax revenues, namely a combination of sales taxes, property taxes and real estate transfer taxes, which derive ultimately from the local economy.
Given the growing frailty of our local economy – we are, after all, a remote resort town with precious few hotel rooms, anemic sales tax revenues, and real estate sales in a steep decline – if you had a few extra bucks to invest somewhere, would you put them into Telluride municipal bonds? Even if they were highly rated? (After the Wall Street meltdown, who believes the ratings?)
If not, why on earth would you vote yes on new bonds backed by new taxes?

Research shows that well-nourished children are healthier, more attentive, and have better mental performance than children who are under-nourished. Findings also indicate that children served by the Child Care Food Program (CCFP) eat healthier food than children who bring food from home. The CCFP helps child care facilities implement "best practices" to ensure children have access to a variety of nutritious foods for healthy growth and to reduce obesity risk.
The CCFP and two related programs, the Afterschool Meals Program and the Homeless Children Nutrition Program, are administered by the Bureau of Child Care Food Programs. These programs provide nutritious meals and snacks to children through public-private partnerships with organizations committed to caring for children. All three programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service.

The Oriental Institute Museum
PLEASE NOTE: The Virtual Museum offers a tour through the Oriental Institute Museum galleries as they appeared prior to being closed for a major renovation and expansion project in 1996. The New Egyptian Gallery, the New Persian Gallery, and the New Mesopotamian Gallery have been completely redesigned and are now open to the public. The remaining two galleries will open over the next several years. Contact the Museum for more precise information.
The Oriental Institute Museum is a showcase of the history, art and archaeology of the ancient Near East. An integral part of the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, which has supported research and archaeological excavation in the Near East since 1919, the Museum exhibits major collections of antiquities from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Iran, Syria, Palestine, and Anatolia.
The Oriental Institute Virtual Museum makes use of a series of Apple QuickTime VR panoramic movies to take you on an alcove by alcove tour of each of the Museum's galleries, accompanied by descriptions of each alcove and their artifacts. Where appropriate, links to related materials on our server, such as the Museum's Highlights From The Collections, the Photographic Archives, and relevant Oriental Institute Archaeology and Philology projects will elaborate on the most significant objects in greater detail.
The following Oriental Institute staff contributed to the development of the Oriental Institute Virtual Museum: Karen Wilson, Curator; Emily Teeter, Assistant Curator; Jean Grant, Museum Photographer; John C. Sanders, Head of Computer Laboratory; and Charles Jones, Research Archivist.
Additionally, generous technical assistance and support was provided by the University of Chicago's Multimedia & Visualization Center (MVC - Academic Computing Services), in particular, Chad Kainz, Coordinator; and staff member, Peter Leonard. This project would not have been possible without their skill and tireless efforts.
